Brought down is referring to the deceptions, they will eventually be exposed.

Well do not worry there is absolutely no reason to go over to Europe concerning any Biblical related reason.
The way I look at it, to deny what God's own Creation, as Created by God and what God is showing us thru His Creation..it's that denial of what God Created is where the deception lies.

Because when God creation His creation that is where God placed them. Why did God create His creation like this The Bible does not state.

But why? If God's creation shows something else, then either the Bible is wrong or God's creation is wrong, so either one is lying to us.

I do not see a difference, as The Bible states God place the created lights in the raqia (dome, sky, expanse, vault).

Which is where they are seen. This photo of the moon, the moon is in the sky and not 200,000+ miles away in an outer space.








So you believe the moon and sun are within the atmosphere of the earth?

Yet, His Creation itself tells a different story.

"sky" is not a place, it is a direction. It is the direction you are looking if you are not looking at "ground". Or in other words, it is the direction you are looking when you are looking through transparent things like air and nothing else.

Airplanes and the Moon are both "in the sky" when you see them (excepting planes on the ground, of course), one is in the atmosphere (the thin layer of gases attached to the ground by gravity) and the other is not. The atmosphere extends a few hundred miles (or so, the edge is ill defined) and there is plenty beyond the edge.

I hate to rain on your parade but before the OT was even written the Babylonians, Sumerians, Egyptians and Canaanites who were polytheists believed in a flat earth and solid dome as well.

What it tells you who ever wrote Genesis was very much influenced by this prevailing view which was common in the region.

If the OT is an inviolable source then you what do make of women who were victims of sexual assault who do not cry out for help where they could be heard should be put to death along with the assailant.

Stating that "the Babylonians, Sumerians, Egyptians and Canaanites who were polytheists believed in a flat earth and solid dome as well" has nothing to do with Biblical theology but with the ANE worldview that the Bible was written from and to.

If anyone who holds to the science version of God's creation. The only way i will believe in some other description, than is what is described in The Bible. Jesus will have to personally tell me, science is accurately testifying to His creation.

There is no such thing as a 'science version of God's creation'. There's God's creation, and a literal reading of the Bible. The two are very much in opposites of the other.

There's God's creation, and a hyper-literal reading of the Bible, that ignores all contexts - cultural, literary, textual.

I'm agreeing with you

It looked like you were trying to engage in a bit of one-upmanship on descriptions, but that's just me reading into it, and that's my bad.

Have you ever been to a doctor or taken a prescription, gotten a vaccination? DId Jesus tell you about those before you did them?

Sure, science has created this nice little world where they can send man made contraptions billions of miles out into space. report back with amazing discoveries. Even start them back up after years of inactivity, etc..............
